The Machine Embroidery Handbook

A course in decorative stitching for stitchers of any ability. Bennett uses free-motion stitching, which permits absolute control of the stitching for complete creative freedom. The stitcher gains hands on experience by making a sampler for each new technique as it is introduced. Photographs of Bennett's work are included to illustrate examples.

Intended for stitchers of any ability, this handbook offers a complete course in decorative stitching. Samplers are used to offer readers hands-on experience of each technique. Creative stitchery is combined with other fabric techniques such as embroidery, quilting, couching, colouring fabric, layering, fabric manipulation, designing and incorporating other materials.
